Just to add to this, I also like to use the “donate for a friend” option to gift friends a donation to Signal on their birthdays. It’s also $5 but a one-off thing, they get a neat badge for 60 days and perhaps it raises awareness of the donation option a little bit!

It seems that Spotify doesn’t accurately count plays for tracks under 30 seconds. I had a look through some of the albums I know of with short tracks and here’s what I found:

• Humanz - Gorillaz / Most popular track: 214m plays vs 11 second interlude: 1,185 plays
• Absolution - Muse / Most popular track: 259m plays vs 22 second intro: 32,174 plays
• California - Blink 182 / Most popular track: 158m plays vs 16 second track: 42,616 plays
• 3 Feet High and Rising - De La Soul / Most popular track: 12m plays vs 17 second track: 1,117 plays
• The Eminem Show - Eminem / Most popular track: 1.9b plays vs 22 second track: 42,050 plays

In fact I found the MGMT album 11​•​11​•​11 has a 26 second long track with no reported plays.

So while it’s probably true that people are listening to fewer full albums than they used to in the days of vinyl or CD, it seems more likely to do with Spotify only paying royalties on tracks over 30 seconds and the discussion surrounding that.

Am I blind or are none of these actually offered by Proton themselves?

I think we’re looking at the same video then, the one with less than 10,000 views after 24 hours. Yeah that video isn’t a real trailer, it’s just using recycled clips from the first film and guessing what might happen in the second one

You’re right about the sequel being announced but do you have a link to the trailer? The only videos and articles I can find still seem to be speculative.

This seems really powerful; I’m curious, how helpful were its suggestions?

Linking this here just because I only discovered that Nathan For You episode yesterday and would hate for anyone to miss out on the reference: Youtube / Piped.

Edit: fixed broken Piped link

So I’ve done this exact thing when a BIOS update failed and left my computer bricked. I remembered having to remove a header from the cap file but I couldn’t remember the exact size of the header so I went searching and found the exact post that helped me at the time: https://superuser.com/a/679461

I went back and compared the files I used and it does indeed look like I just had to remove 2kb from the start of the cap file and then I was able to flash it.

It’s been 4 years since I’ve done this so I unfortunately don’t remember all the details but hopefully that’s somewhat helpful at least!

Thanks for sharing, very interesting to see it from this perspective! When I first saw the title I thought I’d seen another video on the same story but it turns out it was just another equally horrific case: https://youtu.be/J5NHd348AFE

Mlem on iOS seems to have that feature under Settings > Filters at least!
